So that is one reason people have to Cycle High Doses, it causes High Hematocrit Levels?

My Hematocrit runs High on 70mg 2 x a week. I donate blood every 2 months with a Doctors Prescription.

When I first started about 4 years ago, my Doctor had me on Once a month and then Then Once Every 2 weeks so I totally believe there are some Un-Informed Doctors out there.

Yes, among other side-effects including potential liver toxicity (varies among they type of ASS that is used, but is a minimal side-effect with just T). other side-effects are altered blood lipids and cholesterol, and not in a good way.

[COLOR="#0000FF"]Mine runs high even at 40 mg Every 3 days (just under 100 mg per week), but is controllable with regular blood donations. I suspect that at 70 mg 2X per week, you will be pushing the envelope of controlling it without a script for extra donations. They used to be a script for expensive blood dumping procedures, but the Red Cross changed the rules about a year ago to allow extra donations with a script so you no longer have to pay the blood dumping lab charge.

Yes, that doc is uninformed and a danger to society. He/she should not be administering TRT. Even once weekly protocols are (in my opinion) outdated. I was fortunate enough to go to one of the top TRT docs in the world for several years, though it cost me an arm and a leg. He got me on my current 40 mg E3D protocol. I've since moved on, and now have my GP administer same protocol but within my insurance program. I have slightly modified it (without her knowledge) to address the undying cause of high SHBG.

So the Red Cross does not charge if you have a script? My local place charges $31 each time, even with a script.

My Hematocrit is usually a 51 before donating.
